Families in Milton Keynes can take part in a free Easter Egg Hunt at centre:mk on 3 and 4 April 2026. The event invites children to search for eggs displayed in 10 shop windows throughout the centre, with those who complete the challenge receiving a prize.
To participate, families should collect an entry form from the Guest Services Lounge, which is located near TK Maxx. This activity is part of a wider series of holiday events at the centre, which has served as a community hub for over 40 years since its opening in 1979.
Other activities available to visitors include an Easter Fun Fair, running from 26 March through to 12 April. Please note that the Easter Fun Fair will be closed on Easter Sunday, 5 April. Following the holiday weekend, the centre will also host an Easter Arts and Crafts Club from 7 April to 10 April. These sessions will take place daily between 10am and 3pm at Door 1, outside the M&S Food Hall, offering children various creative projects.
These events arrive as the Milton Keynes City Council reports record demand for its own holiday activity programme. The council is providing 7,000 funded sessions, such as sports and circus skills, for eligible families. Within 12 hours of reservations opening, nearly 2,000 families had already booked a place.
As a Grade II listed building and one of the largest shopping centres in the UK, centre:mk offers a range of family amenities, including baby changing facilities and accessibility equipment. The centre continues to host hundreds of free events annually for the local community.
